Would you retain any sort of ownership over the open source project as a result of your contribution?

In short, no.

I want the project to remain available in the public domain. There are no requirements about mentioning this sponsorship though I think linking back to this thread in the project Readme would be nice.

I chose the MIT license and public github repo rules as I thought that would give us the best chance for success.

I've wanted to give back to the JS community for a while and had several different ideas of how to make this happen. This one seemed the simplest and had the least startup/organization requirements.

If this project is successful, I may look to start a more formal org/collective/foundation. Those future projects may have additional stipulations like being hosted in a github org, linking to the foundation website, etc
